I'm 99.9% sure your guess is right. Because of the colours it is not as noticeable but it is the same issue:
You would think, it's a shockingly obvious mistake. For the player jerseys I guess they would use smaller letters for longer names so they fit?
You mean the '60s white retro that was never made available for sale to the public? Because IIRC it wasn't -- I assume the team was spooked by the number of unsold 1950s replicas from the year before.
It is indeed shockingly obvious. I doubt they will use smaller letters for longer-named players -- for them the nameplate will have to extend over the piping. But there is no excuse in the world why Reebok, the CFL or the team should have allowed 18-inch nameplates for short names like Ray and Durie. Again, I hope to hell the team is paying attention to this discussion and fixes the problem, because I doubt many people would buy a jersey with such an obviously wrong and ugly element marring the design.
any idea what skydome is charging to do up the blank ones? I was told that they are the only ones doing the light blue numbers (the letters look like the normal away lettering)...
I can get the normal dark blue numbers and letters done in my hometown for $79...

There is also the Argonauts wordmark on the pants, the nameplate font and the A on the helmet -- six fonts in total. That's a tad ragged. I don't have an issue with continuing to use the A logo font and the existing nameplate font, but Toronto, Argonauts and Pull Together all should have been in one font, and the numbers could have been in that same font. But these are minor quibbles for an overall look that I find more attractive than any other alt the team has introduced.

Durie did the weather report on Global News at 6pm on Thursday while wearing the new third jersey.
Here's the thing. The logo on the new helmets is bigger, which is great news -- i always thought the current helmet logo is too small.
But since they are bigger, I would assume they are new stickers. And yet they STILL have the wrong shade of Cambridge blue in the logo. There are 3 possibilities to explain this:
1. They actually WANT the light blue color on the helmet logo to be different than the light blue on the unis. (possible but unlikely)
2. Their helmet sticker supplier can't reproduce the proper blue colour. (highly unlikely)
3. Inattention to detail/indifference on the part of Argo management. (probable)
Very disappointing. Despite that, mark me down as loving the new unis. I've always had a weakness for dark blue outline on light blue numbers, that's how the Argo unis looked when I saw my first game.
well, those things they are wearing tonight
against BC are pretty hideous.
Quit screwing around with the jerseys and helmets and just bring back the early 80's one, with football/boat helmet logo circa 82/83
...the front of a jersey is for the number, not a big A
I thought that all that was missing was a beautiful glitter blue handbag. How is any mens football team able to play such a tough game dressed in that girly uni. Burn those uni's NOW!!! Reebok you SUCK!!!!
The missing part to the Argo uni's.

The Argos have now sent the 3rd jersey's back to reebok so they can swap the A for a T and send them off to the Titans. Horrible uni's with wrong colours. Reebok BLOWS!
I got me one with number 7 and Uteck on the nameplate to raise ALS awareness.
It's not the ice bucket challenge but it'll do.
Grey cup 106. Newer and bluer meanies
Hated both sets of unis tonight. It was so hard to identify any of the players tonight by number. 1argoholic is right...Reebok blows.
It's us vs the rest of the country
